REVISED  ORDINANCES 

OF  SALT  LAKE  CITY. 


CHAPTER  I. 

Section  I.  Repealing  existing  ordinances.  The  ordin- 
ances contained  in  this  chapter  and  the  chapters  following 
shall  be  known  as  the  "Revised  Ordinances  of  Salt  Lake  City," 
and  so  far  as  their  provisions  are  the  same  in  effect  as  those 
of  previously  existing  ordinances,  they  shall  be  construed  as 
continuations  thereof;  but,  subject  to  the  above  limitation 
and  the  provisions  of  the  next  section,  all  ordinances  and 
resolutions  of  the  city  heretofore  in  force,  except  such  as  are 
of  a  private,  local  or  temporary  nature,  including  franchise 
grants,  dedications  and  special  levies  for  local  assessments,  are 
hereby  repealed. 

2.  Accrued  rights.     Neither    these    revised    ordinances 
nor  the  above  repealing  section  shall  affect  any  act  done,  any 
right  accrued,  any  penalty  incurred,  any  suit,  prosecution  or 
proceeding  pending,  or  the  tenure  of  office  of  any  person  hold- 
ing office,  at  the  time  when  they  take  effect;  nor  shall  the 
repeal  of  any  ordinance  thereby  have  the  effect  of  reviving  any 
ordinance  theretofore  repealed  or  superseded. 

3.  Meaning  of  words.     Words  used  in  the  revised  or- 
dinances in  the  present  tense  include  the  future  as  well  as  the

4.  Liability  of  employers  and    agents  to    penalty    for 


2  CHAP.  I. 

violation  of  ordinances.  When  the  provisions  of  an  ordin- 
ance prohibit  the  commission  or  omission  of  an  act,  not  only 
the  persons  actually  doing  the  prohibited  thing,  or  omitting 
the  directed  act,  but  also  the  employer  and  all  other  persons 
concerned,  or  aiding  or  abetting  therein,  shall  be  guilty  of 
the  offense  described,  and  liable  to  the  penalty  prescribed  for 
the  offense. 

5.  Power  to  issue  permits  granted    to    certain    officials 
by  implication.     When  the  provisions  of  any  ordinance  pro- 
hibit the  commission  of  any  act  without  the  permit  of  a  cer- 
tain official  or  officials,  such  official  or  officials  shall  have  the 
power  to  grant  a  permit  for  the  performance  of  such  act. 

6.  Meaning  of  the  word   "street."     The   word   "street" 
or  "streets"  when  used  in  an  ordinance,  shall  be  construed 
as  including  alleys,  lanes,  courts,  public  squares,  public  places 
and  sidewalks,  unless  such  construction  would  be  inconsist- 
ent with  the  manifest  intent  of  the  ordinance. 

7.  Penalty   for   violating   ordinances.     Any   person   vio- 
lating any  provision  or  provisions  of  any  ordinance  includ- 
ed in  these  Revised  Ordinances,  or  ordinances  hereafter  en- 
acted, shall  be  deemed  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor,  and  unless 
other  provision  is  made,  shall,  upon  conviction,  be  punished 
by  a  fine  of  not  more  than  one  hundred  and  fifty  dollars. 

8.  When  an  ordinance  shall  go  into  effect.    Amendments. 
All  ordinances,  enacted   after  the  adoption   of   these  "Revised 
Ordinances"  shall  be  deposited  in  the  office  of  the  city  recorder 
and  shall  not  go  into  effect  until  twenty  days  after  the  date 
of    their    publication,    unless    otherwise    expressly    provided 
therein.     These  "Revised  Ordinances"  shall  not  be  amended 
by    interlineation,  but,  in    the  future,    amendments    shall  be 
made  by  re-enacting  the  section  or  subdivision  as  amended.

make  an  examination  and  inspection  of  the  whole  work,  and 
if  the  same  is  found  to  comply  with  the  requirements  of  this 
chapter,  he  shall  approve  the  same  and  shall  issue  a  certificate 
therefor,  and  shall  immediately  thereafter  endorse  on  the  ap-

erty may  thereafter  be  redeemed  by  the  owner,  his  heirs,  per- 
sonal representatives  or  assigns,  upon    petition  therefor  ad- 
dressed to  the  city  council,  and  upon  such  terms  as  the  city 
council  may  determine,  provided,  that  in  no  case  shall  redemp-

entitled.     He  shall  audit  such  claims  in  the  same  manner  as 
other  claims  are  audited,  and  shall  immediately  report  them  to 
the  city  council,  with  such  particulars  and  information  as  will 
fully  inform  the  city  council.

pressure.     All   work   upon,   and   alterations   or   extensions   of 
water  pipes,  and  size  of  pipes  shall  be  to  the  acceptance  of  the 
superintendent'.     No  extension  of  service  pipes  shall  be  made

comply  with  this  ordinance  shall  warrant  the  superintendent 
in  withholding  a  supply  of  water  through  said  service  pipe  un- 
til a  separate  service  pipe  with  stop-cock  and  key  box  is  put 
in  for  each  user  of  water.

wanted,  and  where  the  pipes  are  thoroughly  protected  from 
frost,  also  for  hose  connections,  or  where  a  separate  waste  is

of  such  rolls  ;  the  said  auditor  shall  debit  the  city  treasurer 
upon  the  books  of  his  office,  with  the  total  of  said  assessment, 
and  shall  then   deliver  said   rolls  to  the   city  treasurer,   who 
shall  proceed  to  collect  the  rates  semi-annually  or  annually  as 
the  city  council  shall  direct.

notice  of  the  amount  pf  water  rates  assessed  against  him  and 
when  payable.     If  any  person  neglects,  fails  or  refuses  to  pay 
his  water  rates  within  thirty  days  from  the  date  of  said  notice, 
the  city  treasurer  shall   notify  the  superintendent  of  water- 
works, who  shall  have  the  water  turned  off  from  the  premises 
of  such  delinquent,  and  before  the  water  shall  be  turned  on 
again,  all  delinquent  water  rates  must  be  paid  in  full  up  to  the 
end  of  the  term  as  assessed  and  fifty  cents  additional  for  ex- 
penses.    Any  water  taker  not  using  water  after  the  assess- 
ment has  been  made,  must  report  it  to  the  superintendent  of 
waterworks  and  have  the  water  shut  off;  if  he  fails  to   do 
so,  the  full  amount  assessed  must  be  paid.     No  allowance  will 
be  made  for  non-use  for  less  than  one  month.     All  corrections 
in  assessments,  and  all  abatements  shall  be  made  under  the 
direction  of  the  city  council  and  shall  be  certified  to  the  city 
auditor  and  city  treasurer.

illegal,  unequal  or  unjust.  Said  board  shall  meet  on  the

sion from  time  to  time  until  the  business  of  equalization  is

assessments  must  be  presented  to  said  board  within  said

board  shall  have  authority  to  meet  from  time  to  time  after 
the  last  named  date  to  adjust  water  assessments  made  sub-
